JERRY LEE LEWIS THE SUN YEARS 

1982/1983

12 Vinyl LP Record Box Set 

Sun Records

w/ Original Book & Picture Sleeves

Normally we would include pictures of each record where possible but because this set had unique picture sleeves and picture limitations by eBay we elected to take pictures of the picture sleeves with one picture of a record for reference sake.  Grading noted down below as they are all VG+ to NM

If you’re a fan of rock ‘n’ roll history or a vinyl enthusiast, this box set is both a musical treasure trove and a collector’s gem that captures the reckless energy and pioneering spirit of The Killer, Jerry Lee Lewis.
